Child's play


Singing while you work

I was preparing Cassie for bath and waiting for the water to fill the tub. While waiting, i then prepared the mob to clean the floor. Cassie saw what i was planning to do and insist that she wanted to clean the floor. That's why you see her in her 'untidy' attire in the video :)

While Cassie participating in the house chores, she didn't forget to entertain herself while she's doing the work :) turn up your volume to hear her sing :)

It's a great reminder : work hard, play hard. most importantly have fun and enjoy :)

Handmade Crochet Dress


Cass picked up this dress from her closet last weekend when we were preparing to visit the grandparents. She insisted on this dress and keep saying she wanted the 'red color' dancing dress. (红红的跳舞衣).
And she meant the handmade crochet dress pass down from my cousin. My cousin is very good at crafts and she can make wonders with her fancy fingers. She's very good at sewing, knitting and even flower arrangement. She gave us 2 crochet dresses, a pink one and the red one here.

This dress has been hanging in the closet for at least a year now because i can't find a occasion for her to put on and she wasn't the right age yet. As Cass has requested for it, i decided to let her try on.

Immediately after she put on the dress, she told me : "Shu-Weih pretty little girl !!" and then she started her dance routine by swirling, dancing and stretching all the way happily.

Well, you are right Cass, we don't need any occasion or excuses to feel pretty or happy ! thank you for the reminder :)

Hands on the computer.


Cass has been watching us using the computer and she has been sitting on our laps when we browse the net with her. She finally got the chance to use the computer totally on her own today. I was downstairs cooking dinner when i saw G walked down alone and told me that Cass is using the computer on her own, playing the toddler's computer game.

I walked up to check on her and found that she's happily reading, doing the counting, playing the music ! you can see from her face that it's very intense. i can't help but to take her photo because she just looked too cute for a photograph.

Last nite while playing with Cass, G throw Cass her toy bunny softly.
Cass : "why you throw ?"
G : "opps, sorry"
Cass : "cannot throw one, put down slowly"
G : "ok, ok "
Cass : "remember ok ?"

I found her keep doing this lately, she's like a parrot immitate all our speeches and like a programmed robot that repeats after us :)

New Bike


We decided that Cass need a little more exercise (as if she's not active enough hehe), and we got her a new bike !! (check out her first bike here) She was so excited about it and wanted to take the bike wherever she goes.

She usually bike for about 10-15 mins at a time only and she will be quite exhausted. ar ... then the good part for me, she will nap for 3 hrs in the afternoon :)


Cass the dancing queen


Partly imagination, partly expressiveness, partly too much TV and partly pretend play :)

Cass break into dance quite frequently. Here while waiting for dinner and she was doing her 'dinner' dance :)

Aquaria KLCC vs Paragon Bangkok


This is the 2nd trip to the aquarium for Cass. She has been to the Paragon's Siam Ocean World in yr 2006 and the KLCC Aquaria is her 2nd underwater encountered.

Overall i think the Aquaria is too small and not a lot of display. The main attraction in June is the 'piranha'. hmpt.

Comparing to the Paragon' siam ocean world, where besides the tunnel, they have the 'artic' encountered, a lot of different deep ocean creatures like the neon lights jelly fishes. In addition, the paragon's ocean center has a few aquarium tank that are 2 storeys high, well kept surroundings and good ambiance.

With 30,000+ marine animals (Seals, Blue Ringed Octopus, Ragged-tooth sharks, Stingrays, Leafly Sea Dragons, Giant Spider Crabs, and Sharks of various types including Ragged-tooth, Black tipped, and Leopard). No wonder it is the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia.

But then again, with 1/3 the price we paid for Siam Paragon, it's fair we expect 1/3 of the experience in Aquaria KLCC. fair ? This is free market at work here.

Pretend Play : Cassandra MD


Check out how Cass is pretending to rescue her stuff toy :)

Bath time fun.


Cass loved to bath and now she insists on bathing on her own including washing her hair.

Cass's Craft - Origami Dog

Starting year 2008, i've planned out a craft sessions for Cass to keep her occupied. This is from the origami book that i've found from the MPH bookstore. She liked the origami dog very much and has insisted that she draw the eye, the ears and even the dogs hair at the back of the paper.

Riding with neighbors

It's school holiday over here in Malaysia till Jan 2nd 2008. Our neighbor's kids came knocking on our door 2 weeks ago and ask Cass to come out and play.

There was some running, see-saw, slide and lots of swinging in the park opposite our house. And then everyone started to bring their bikes out. Cass was curious and happy to be able to ride on the "sport-truck" with the rest. It was fun and lots of laughters.

The kids played like they own the road and we parents basically is the traffic police direc
tly the traffic flow of the whole road. Luckily there wasn't a lot of cars that day and they had a wonderful time.

After 2 hours of sweating, the kids finally settle down and cooling down in the swimming area. Now that's a grand finale ! Cass has a very good sleep that nite !
